KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI GARMENT HANGER Application filed October 20, 1930.Serial No. 488,946.

'My invention relates to devices for supporting garments and embraces abodily Y slnftable suspension member, a garment-holding member connectedto said suspension 5 member, a bar, rod, or like support on which thecomplete hanger may be shifted to various positions, and brackets forsupporting said bar, rod, or like support.

My device is particularly useful in classroom wardrobes, or check roomsused in con-- nection with theaters other public buildings in which'arments of the patrons are checked.

In order that the invention may be fully understood, reference will nowbe had to the accompanying drawing, in Which:

Fig. lis an end elevation of the garment supporter.

Fig. 2 is a side elevation of the garment supporter. I r

' Fig. 3 is aside elevation of the garment supporter with thegarment-holder detached from the suspension member. Fig. 4 is a crosssection on line 4-4 of Fig. 2.

Fig. 5 is a detail front elevation of the suspension member.

. Referring in detail to the different parts, 2 designates a pluralityof bars, preferably of cylindrical cross section, which are supported bybrackets .4, each of which has a pair of segmental seatsfi to receivethe adjacent ends of two of said bars. The segmental se'ats 6 affordreliable supports for one or more of the bars 2 whether the bases of thebrackets 4 are secured ina ho-rizontalposition against a ceiling or in avertical position against a wall. The bars 2 are removablysecured in theseats 6 by suitable means such as set screws 8. The base of each bracket4 is arranged in parallelism with the axis of the seats 6 andhas holes10 so that it may be secured by screws or nails to a wall, ceiling,

, or other suitable support.

prising a hook 14 and an eye 16, which latter may be shifted bodily uponthe bar 2 on wh1ch it is mounted, but prevents removal of the suspensionmembers 12 from said bar.

18. designates a garment-holder whlch 1s 12' designates a suspensionmember com provided at its upper central portion with an eye 29 fordetachable engagement with the hook 14. The garment-l1older 18 ispermanently secured to the suspension member 12 by means of a chain orother flexible connection 22.

Inpractice any desired number of bars 2 and brackets 4 may be assembledend to end and each bar may be supplied with one or more garmentsupporters. The chain 22 enables the garment holder 18 to be removed aconvenient distance from the hook 14, so that a garment can be readilyplaced upon or removed from the holder and at the same time said chainprevents the holder 18 from being carried off.

From the foregoing description it is apparent that I have provided asimple and inexpensive garment hanger which is well adapted for thepurpose intended, and while I have shown and described one form of theinvention I reserve all rights to such other forms and modificationsthereof as properly fall within the spirit and scope of the invention asclaimed.

Having thus described my invention, what Iclaim and desire to secure byLetters Patent, is:

1. A garment hanger comprising a suspension member having a hook at itslower end and an eye at its upper end which latter is adapted to beshifted along a suitable support, a garment-holder having an eye at itsupper end for detachably engaging said hook, and a chain permanentlyconnecting the suspension member and said garmente holder.

2. A device of the character described con sisting of a suitablysupported bar, a suspension member having an eye slidable upon said barand provided with a depending hook, a garment holder detachably engagingsaid hook, and flexible means permanently connecting said garment holderto said suspension member.

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature.

CHARLES H. KRAFT.
